Training

ToolBook Comprehensive

This class brings together the entire ToolBook introductory curriculum into one 4-day class event. Attendees will be immersed in hands-on activities to create courses, assessments and software simulations. In addition to working with common ToolBook elements like buttons, text fields, images, media players and more, attendees will learn how to add and customize interactions using the Actions Editor, share templates via the Catalog, and begin to effectively utilize ToolBook to its fullest potential.
